Modernizes New Hampshire's restitution system to ensure timely payments and better communication with victims.

New Hampshire HB1576 modernizes the state's restitution system by requiring mandatory financial reevaluations of offenders at least once every 12 months. The Department of Corrections must notify victims of any changes in payment schedules or enforcement actions. The bill strengthens enforcement mechanisms, including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, and liens on assets. It also mandates prompt disbursement of collected funds to victims and extends restitution obligations to the offender's estate. These reforms apply to both current and future restitution orders.
